Author Topic: Feedback on new CT set up idea please (Read 3769 times)

There was much fear amongst Allied leaders in the US and the UK during periods of WWII that Germany and Russia might make a separate peace, freeing a large portion of the Wermacht (spelling?) to oppose the Allied landings in France. The thinking may have been flawed to some extent, but this didn't stop Stalin from using it as a Sword of Pericles to get more Lend-Lease material, and to otherwise wield influence at the "Big Three" meetings.

I'm thinking of coming up with a "what-if" set up for the CT that pits the American and British forces against a notional alliance between Germany and the USSR. What do you in the CT community think of the idea? I believe the planeset (with appropriate perking and field availability would be a pretty decent match up. I don't have a terrain to run this on (though there's one or two in development that would work, I think), so it's not going to happen for some weeks, if at all. I just wanted some general feedback from the player-base. Thanks.

Interesting.

I would rather see more Pacific based set up's though.

A good one IMO would be TARGET JAPAN. We could recreate the carrier raids on the Japanese Home Islands in 1945. While there would be no real taking of territory there would have to be certain targets that would have to be taken out.

Do it.

This is one of the great advantages of AH--we have the tools to create these "what if" scenarios. There's no need to tie yourself strictly to what already happened; I'm glad to see the CT team "opening up" in this regard.

One day, when the planeset could support it, I'd also love to see a "USSR versus Japan" setup, or an "Allied civil war".

Can we have a

"What If Reginald Mitchell didn't develop Spitfires, and the LW gets to fight all those BB gunned Hurricanes only in BoB" setup??

oh..oh.. I got one... suppose that there were three aliances and that they all hated each other... they all had access to each others plane designs due to captures and spying and... they all produced models of every plane as it became available. the countries could then supply a variety of different planes to match each type of fight.
